Sure, you could grab a cheapo drying rack at Target, but if you've got a few hundred bucks (or £ 139, converted) to burn and long-term electricity savings to consider, this indoor/outdoor clothes dryer from U.K. site Pro-Idee wipes the floor with most budget models. Weighing in at 15.4 pounds -- my wallet stings just thinking of the shipping costs -- it measures only 5 1/2 inches wide when folded (see below) and unfolds into 88 feet worth of drying "line" in a few easy clicks, which means you could potentially hang an entire load of baby washables out to dry.

The rack's sturdy, plastic-coated aluminum-tube frame is designed not to sag even if you load it with sopping-wet blankets and hoodie towels (Pro-Idee promises a lifetime of use), and its lockable castors prevent unexpected rolling. Waiting it out while baby's wardrobe dries indoors during the winter, of course, is something it's not designed to make any easier.
